We like to work on everyday making the world a better place.” Copenhagen is currently undergoing a revolution, as many new buildings and urban developments are challenging the traditional way of thinking. The projects and the actual builds, within temporary architecture as well as construction, are getting increasingly innovative and daring. This makes it the ideal home for a firm as Arkitekturministeriet, as Bo explains. “Our unique approach to the tasks, from idea to final product, ensures that we work exclusively with the client and enables us to focus on providing the best possible quality in our work.
